Nashville Mayor John Cooper Announces Curfew Around Blast Site, Focus on Catching Bombers: ‘We Are Going from Relief Now to Resolve’
RUSH EXCERPT:
COOPER: “Well, thank you all for being here. The chiefs and I just have had a walking tour of the devastation on second avenue. As of right now, it does, initial evidence shows the early morning explosion was a deliberate bomb being set off in our community. The blast caused injuries into catastrophic damage to this very historic part of Nashville. At the end of the day, I think all of us, I certainly have gone from relief to a lot more casualties and that’s an amazing thing that were done particularly when people began to see the devastation on second avenue. There is a relief that there’s not more casualties, but for now, anger, determination, resolve and resolve to rebuild and not be deterred to enter bring whoever was responsible for this to justice. I’ve spoken with the governor Lee who is working with us to have a declaration of a civil emergency.”
